A very, very late thank-you (and apology) for a freakishly awesome gift

I open it and almost drop the box. Whether it was from the sheer awesomeness or V's smiling, pale face, I'm not sure.

But I do know that it was a fabulous read over the holidays, and I had fun scaring my parents with the mask :]

And I also owe my Santa a really big apology - not only for this very late post, but also being a bitter old hag at him for thinking this gift was from someone else (long story) and thinking I hadn't gotten a gift for the second time in a row.
